Dear friends,
On our previous report, we told you about a golden eagle chick that we were following in the state of Guanajuato—the only known chick to have hatched in that region this year. As this season was very dry and had a marked lack of available prey for the eagles, we were worried that the chick would not have enough resources to survive. Against all odds, however, during the last days of June, our feathery friend took his first flight all by himself. We were even able to snap a picture of the young eagle flying alongside his parents! This brings renewed hope for the continuation of the species in central Mexico.
On a different note, we produced a new comic book that tells the story of Iká—which translates to “wind” in Rarámuri, a local indigenous language—, a golden eagle chick that was born in the state of Chihuahua. This new material will be used to support our educational program with children in rural communities.
Your support is paramount for the continuation of our work. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and please consider renewing your contribution to the project.
Kind regards,
Francisco
